Consistency is a virtue which all men
agree in praising but which few men pos
sess in the proper degree. The consistent
man rarely comes to grief. If man act
according to his best views and desires,
there is not much fear that he will fail to
succeed. But then it is said that. mans
best views and desires may Oftentimes be
wrong, and if his conduct be based on illog-
ical views, it will necessarily be of the
same nature as his views. No doubt. there
is a deal of truth in this; but there is much
less truth in it than we usually think.
Most men see pretty clearly what they
want; the trouble is, they take the wrong
means of achieving their end. The in
stincts which lead to crime and vice are not
necessarily wrong; they are generally reas-
enable and natural. 1t is the means taken
to achieve the end that is usually wrong.
We all feel the natural desire to be COM
Portable and happy. but we do not all pur-
sue the course in which we are most likely
to find comfort and happiness. The i'm
pulse experienced by the man who violates
the law to obtain happiness, is not always
unnatural 1t is but right and fair that all
men should consistently with the interests
OF others. possess happiness. What we
condemn in the man who. in the pursuit of
happiness, violated the law, is the means
which he has chosen to obtain his end. He
is not acting consistently. He is losing
happiness by the very means which he has
taken to obtain it. In a word. he is acting
foOlishly. He knows what he wants, but
he does not know how to get it. Now it is
obvious that he is acting inconsistency if.
knowing what he wants. he chooses the
wrong method of obtaining it. SO the con-
cluSiOn becomes more and more irresistible
to every man that thinks on the things of
life. that the devil is always an ass. the
criminal is always a fool.
When mans desires are base, when he
feels craving for the degraded and ignoble,
he is not acting consistently. For every
man is willing to admit that he desires to
be happy and comfortable; and no man will
knowingly adopt a course of conduct which
leads to unhappiness; whether he admits it
or not, each man follows that course which
he thinks will most benefit himself Now it
is very clear that if a man. earnestly desir-
ing to obtain happiness, acts in obedience
to his base desires, SO that he cannot posi-
ably obtain happiness, he is inconsistent.
Virtue is another name for life: he who is
most virtuOuS possesses most life. 1t, now,
men pursue course OF death instead of
life. they are acting inconsistency. SO we
find that the intelligent and uncultivated
criminal are equally inconsistent. The in
telligent criminal knows what he wants,
but he does not chose the proper means of
getting it; the ignorant criminal feels, but
does not know what he wants, and acts ac-
cording to his knowledge. Summary.
